After resolving the issue with the Ichibi, Uchiha En sent Kakashi Hatake back to the Village to report to Minato Namikaze, while he himself summoned Lightning and rushed toward the Land of Waves.
I have to say, a flying Summoned Beast is truly useful. Moreover, Lightning doesn't just fly; it also masters many Wind Release Ninjutsu and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and its combat strength is not weak.
Giving the collected Dragon Vein Chakra to Lightning back then was indeed a wise choice.
With Lightning present, Uchiha En only spent a few hours traveling from the Hidden Sand Village to the Land of Waves.
After Lightning circled in the air, Uchiha En spotted the Cloud Shinobi and Kirigakure Shinobi confronting each other. Asana was also below, but she wasn't participating in the conflict between the two sides; instead, she was observing from a distance.
Uchiha En jumped off Lightning's back, used the Body Flicker Technique several times, and arrived next to Asana.
"What's the situation?" Uchiha En asked.
"Both sides are being restrained; they haven't started fighting," Asana replied.
Hearing this, Uchiha En activated his Sharingan and looked over.
The Cloud Shinobi side was represented by the Jinchuriki of the Nibi and the Eight-Tails, accompanied by a dozen people whose Chakra levels reached Jonin standard.
The leader on the Kirigakure side was a slovenly old man, with some viscous substance dripping from his body.
Behind him was a squad of Kirigakure Anbu, and another squad composed of members from the Yuki Clan, Kaguya Clan, and Hōzuki Clan, specializing in Bloodline Limits and Secret Techniques.
"Tsk tsk! The lineup on both sides is truly formidable!" Uchiha En remarked.
"The best way to fight a Tailed Beast is to use a Tailed Beast. Isn't it logical to send Jinchuriki?"
"That's true. Asana, do you think they will fight?"
"Most likely not."
"Why?"
"If they were going to fight, they would have started the moment they met. Why wait until now?"
The reality was just as Asana had said. After a confrontation, the Cloud Shinobi and Kirigakure Shinobi clearly reached some agreement, and the Cloud Shinobi ultimately chose to retreat voluntarily.
Soon after the Cloud Shinobi left, the Kirigakure Shinobi made their move. Members of the Yuki Clan simultaneously used their Ice Release Secret Technique to freeze the entire lake surface.
The Three-Tails, which had been sleeping soundly underwater, instantly went berserk, broke through the ice, and burst out.
"Shouldn't we make our move now?" Asana asked.
"No rush. Let them fight for a while first. Plus, I need to deal with some rats underground." After speaking, Uchiha En's figure vanished from the spot.
A minute later, Uchiha En returned, carrying two White Zetsu corpses in his hand.
"It's this stuff again. How did they end up here?" Asana asked.
"They probably followed the Kirigakure people!"
"Followed the Kirigakure people? Why would they follow the Kirigakure people?"
"Because Kirigakure has already been infiltrated by them."
Hearing this, Asana frowned. To be able to infiltrate a Village, these guys must be truly extraordinary!
The Three-Tails and the Kirigakure Shinobi fought for several hours, and ultimately, the Three-Tails, which held the geographical advantage, forced the Kirigakure Shinobi to retreat.
Then the Three-Tails turned around, preparing to return underwater.
